    It's a gaping hole. I'm building it five-sixths of the way into the hole. You can find out more information at this site and see a picture of the hole here.

    Why in the fuck^H^H^H^Hheck does NASA want to build a fancy shmancy space station 5/6th of the way to the moon if they don't have enough dinero to slop together one right here above our own flippin' planet?

  6. Quite simply they never went ! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll


    would be the easiest/most logical explanation

    until man actually lands on the moon again or develops a high enough powered telescope and finds the remnants of when we supposedly visited (vehicles/flags/rubbish etc) we will never know, we can read a newspaper with a satellite yet there are no recent photos proving we was ever on the moon !

    maybe we will never land on the moon again because if its a lie what will happen to NASA ?

    food for thought egh ?

    Keep sending Lance Bass up there alone until they get this fixed. Tell him he's going for free because he's "just so f***ing fine!"--he'll bite.
